Family Class Applications (spouse/common-law partner, dependent children and parents) including humanitarian applications

The Family Class is a critical part of Canada’s immigration portfolio. This category is broad and includes sponsorship applications for a spouse (common-law, conjugal or married) or the same or opposite sex, dependent children, parents and siblings, and numerous other combinations where there are good grounds to support an application. Also critical are the discretionary Humanitarian and Compassionate applications that allow individuals who don’t fit squarely within an established category to apply for permanent resident status in Canada.
